Outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan is this boat floating in a forest.
That marks the location of Two Waters Woodworking, a Michigan-based design/build shop run by one Pete Goetz.
Goetz produces everything from tabletop items…
…to furniture…
…to a subcategory of furniture, home bars.
This handsome minibar is one of my faves from his portfolio.
In the background of many of the photos you can catch glimpses of his shop, which seems impossibly tidy given the depth of his output. This is a man who clearly knows exactly where every last tool, screw and washer is. It's perhaps unsurprising that I discovered him in Facebook's highly addictive Efficient Workshops group.
One of Goetz's pieces that I was very interested to see is, as with Daniel Moyer, something that isn't for sale. TO increase his efficiency, Goetz recently built a multifunctional workstation that would encompass his table saw, miter saw and router table:
He's also got photos up showing you how it came together:
"Was unsure on how large I wanted to make this, debated back and forth between 3' and 4' wide," Goetz writes. "I'm so glad I went 4' wide (4'×8'). Talk about efficiency, I used it for 10 plus hours today and it was awesome. Should have done this a long time ago. It's on wheels (locking) and moves around easy."
See more of Goetz's work, both for-sale furniture and shop furniture, here.

Amazing work...
Thanks for this post! I have my Miter saw sitting on a table and I was noticing how hard is to cut a long piece because it just floats so I need to do something like this to recess it so I can use my table to support it. His shop vacuum system is impressive.
